Such expressive playing from Ben in Chopin’s Mazurka in A Minor, Op. 7 No. 2 at our recent Spring Studio Recital! Ben is one of two graduating seniors finishing up their time in my studio before going to universities in the fall. Bittersweet to see them go but I’m proud of what they’ve accomplished!

Good news: now that school schedules have largely fallen into place, I can confidently say that I have a few openings for new and returning students!

My studio is a diverse group of children and adults of all skill levels. I'd be happy to help you with a fresh start or to refine your existing piano chops! Most of my current openings are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The first lesson is on the house!

Cheers,
Daniel
